I know, right?!

Be more like the U.S. and send it to China.
The Philippines already have a class of people that live off of scavenging through the garbage. But they aren't all that productive with it. They look for food and stuff to live.

Canada should be sending it to a place where you can kill some of the kids with the toxic metals in the e-garbage, while the other kids can recycle it for you, make new products, ship them back to the U.S., and have it turned back into trash, and start the cycle over.

And if the government starts threatening laws that say "no more sending garbage overseas!" then you just start calling garbage "scrap" and make it moot.

C'mon Canada. Step it up.

Chronic Inc., a plastics exporter based in Whitby, Ont., shipped the containers -- supposedly filled with recyclable Vancouver plastics -- to the Philippines in the spring and summer of 2013.

But upon inspection, the country's Bureau of Customs found the containers were filled with stinking household garbage, including used adult diapers and kitchen waste.

The bureau said the material could "pose biohazard risks" and impounded the shipment.

Chronic Inc.'s owner, Jim Makris, couldn't be reached for comment. But he denied in an interview with the Toronto Star a year ago that he shipped garbage to the Philippines and also suggested he was being punished for failing to pay off Filipino officials when his containers arrived.

Late last year, the Philippines Department of Justice recommended filing criminal charges against Makris's Philippines partner, Chronic Plastics, for misrepresenting the contents of the containers.

Sounds like those crazy Canadians are trying to get rid of their stinkin Mackerels.

If it was brought illegally from Canada, why don't you just illegally take it back to Canada? Park it in a major port and leave.

Or, do like the others and dump it in the ocean.

The next container will be our white trash politicians.

Don't accept that container either, let it drift, they're just as toxic

Why dont we put all trashy politicians and diplomats in the containers with the garbage and let them all drift instead...

Nobody is honoring the provisions of the Basel Convention with the way this story has been panning out....its not only local customs laws being violated here. An international treaty agreement is also being blindsided..not to mention numerous environmental, health and humanitarian issues...

Petitioning The Canadian Embassy in Manila
Re export the 98 container vans filled with mixed waste and trash from the Philippines to Canada @leonaaglukkaq @CanEmbPH @AmbCanPH @HonJohnBaird

"If we pursue this option of shipping back the waste, Canada would not accept it. Our remedy will be to file a case in the international court. Can you imagine how long it will take to resolve the issue? When litigations are ongoing, at the end of the day, the waste is still there, rotting," said Jonas Leones, assistant director lawyer of the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB).

Oh, look! alleoops got slapped in the face with a mackerel.

yea, I was just sittin there and this guy John, from Canada walks up behind me and Wham! I thought I was havin an orgasm for sure.

If it had happened at the Vatican, then it would have been a Holy Mackerel.


Getting back to the original topic, isn't Canada big enough to store its own trash?

I think this was supposed to be recycling material, not sure. But alot of recycled material here in the US are sold to pacific countries. China is probably the biggest buyer of recycled plastics.

white??....

I'd recommend, that Canada build a
waste repository, in or near,
Moose Knuckle, Saskatchewan.

lmao @ I was just sitting there

Ya Right!
